JSON Crud v1.0.0

A simple CRUD JSON database using either a JSON file or a folder of JSON files.

var jsonDB = require('json-crud');

jsonDB

Generator function for creating a JSON DB. The database is equivalent to a a single table or collection. The generator returns a promise that will resolve to the JSON databaes if everything is ok.

Parameters

• file String Path to file/folder to contain the JSON database
• options Object Object containing the options for the database.
  • options.path String Path to file/folder to contain JSON database if not given as first argument
  • options.id String Field of data objects to be used as the key
  • options.cacheKeys Boolean Cache the keys of the objects in the database
  • options.cacheValues Boolean Cache the objects in the database

Returns Promise<JsonDBInstance> A promise that will resolve to a JsonDB instance if everything checks out

Typing

export = JsonDB;

declare function JsonDB(path?: string; options?: Options): Promise<JsonDBInstance>;

  export type Id = string | number;

  export type IdOrError = Id | Error;

  export type Results = { [key: Id]: any };
